Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good?

Hi Steve,
You would think a moderator would recognize a long post with its glossy salesmanship wording as a copy and paste and simply not post it. Especially from certain recognized posters.

Hi Steve, I am still waiting on the post office to deliver the cord. I guess I was not home to sign for it when they came by.
As far as Ebm is concerned, well he is a fanboy for stealth, which usually means much more money.

Kedoades- I understand EBM's passion for Stealth.
I was big Indra fan before I started designing cables.

Yes, I meant no disrespect to Ebm just having some fun with him.

So Steve has offered trade-up towards Halo provided I pay full pop for a 1m Halo IC @ $4,000. Seriously? How am I going to feel (like I am now with the original Reflections that I paid $2k for) when Halo 'V2' is launched a year or so from now, and being 'consistently auctioned' (like the Reflection V2 are at a fraction of the original's price) at say $800-$1,000, when I paid $4,000 a year earlier for a product that is apparently 'improved', and at a fraction of the retail price of the original version. Are any other cable companies employing this strategy? Furthermore, Steve can not be called to discuss any of this- only contacted through Audiogon. Being a web-based marketer, Gabriel Gold could disappear tomorrow, and THEN what would happen to resale on these cables? All that being said, in his defence, I will say that Steve is good to deal with, and I do still like the GG cables- the marketing strategy, not so much...
